Coeur d'Alene MSA vs. Idaho
Comparative Trends Analysis:
Population Growth and Change, 1969-2022
Introduction
Coeur d'Alene MSA vs. Idaho
Coeur d'Alene MSA:
2022 Population = 183,578
2022 Percent of State = 0.06%
Idaho:
2022 Population = 1,939,033
2022 Percent of U.S. = 0.58%
Attracting and retaining people to live, work, raise a family, and retire underlies the economic vitality of any region. Population growth is both a cause--and a consequence--of economic growth. Patterns of population growth and change reflect differences among regions to attract and retain people both as producers and consumers in their economy.
The following graphs offer a broad overview of trends in the pattern of population growth and change of the Coeur d'Alene MSA with comparisons to Idaho and the nation at large. This analysis features alternative approaches toward discussing, diagnosing and comparing the Coeur d'Alene MSA vs. Idaho's population growth over 1969-2022. The data used are those compiled by the Regional Income and Product Divisions of the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce.

Figure 1.
Figure 1 traces the Coeur d'Alene MSA's annual population for the period 1969-2022 to illustrate population patterns over time. During this 54-year period, the Coeur d'Alene MSA's population rose from 35,005 in 1969 to 183,578 in 2022, for a net gain of 148,573, or 424.43%.
NOTE: The county and state population totals reported by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) are from the Bureau of Census midyear (July 1) estimates. These estimates may differ from those prepared independently in some states by various agencies and/or universities.

Figure 3.
Figure 3 portrays the Coeur d'Alene MSA's population growth in a broader context by offering direct comparisons across time with Idaho, the United States. The growth indices shown here express each region's population in 1969 as a base figure of 100, and the populations in later years as a percentage of the 1969 base figure. This method allows for more direct comparison of differences in population growth between regions that may differ vastly in size.
The Coeur d'Alene MSA's overall population growth was 424.43% over 1969-2022 outpaced Idaho's increase of 174.26%, and topped the United States' increase of 65.57%.

Figure 4.
Another interesting and insightful way of comparing the population growth of the Coeur d'Alene MSA is to compare its individual percentage contributions to Idaho's statewide population over time, as shown in Figure 4. A rising share means a region's population grew faster, or declined less, than Idaho's population, while a declining share shows it grew more slowly.
In 1969, the Coeur d'Alene MSA's population comprised 4.95% of Idaho's population, while in 2022 it equated to 9.47% thereby yielding a +4.52% share-shift.

Figure 5.
Figure 5 highlights the short-run pattern of the Coeur d'Alene MSA's population growth by tracking the year-to-year percent change over 1970-2022. The average annual percent change for the entire 53-year period is also illustrated on this chart to provide a benchmark for gauging periods of relative high--and relative low--growth against the backdrop of the long-term average.
On average, the Coeur d'Alene MSA's population grew at an annual rate of 3.19% over 1970-2022. The Coeur d'Alene MSA recorded its highest growth in 1973 (8.48%) and posted its lowest growth in 1987 (-0.90%). In 2022, the Coeur d'Alene MSA's population grew by 1.91%

Figure 6.
Over the past five decades some msas have experienced extreme swings in growth, and often such swings have tended to coincide with the decades themselves. Figure 6 again traces the annual percent change in the Coeur d'Alene MSA's population since 1970, but this time they are displayed with average growth rates for the decade of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020-2022.
During the 1970s, the Coeur d'Alene MSA's annual population growth rate averaged 5.33%. It averaged 1.45% in the 1980s, 4.62% in the 1990s, 2.60% in the 2000s, 2.00% in the 2010s, 3.11% thus far this decade (2020-2022).

Figure 7.
Figure 7 compares the decade average growth rates for the Coeur d'Alene MSA noted in the previous graph with the corresponding decade averages for Idaho and the nation. As the chart reveals, the Coeur d'Alene MSA's average annual population growth outperformed Idaho's average throughout the 1970s (5.33% vs. 2.81%), exceeded Idaho's average during the 1980s (1.45% vs. 0.65%), recorded above Idaho's average throughout the 1990s (4.62% vs. 2.52%), registered above Idaho's average during the 2000s (2.60% vs. 2.00%), exceeded Idaho's average throughout the 2010s (2.00% vs. 1.52%), and topped Idaho's average over the 3 year period of the current decade, 2020-2022 (3.11% vs. 2.36%).
Finally, relative to nationwide population growth trends, the Coeur d'Alene MSA topped the nation over the 1970s (5.33% vs. 1.10%), registered above the nation in the 1980s (1.45% vs. 0.95%), surpassed the nation during the 1990s (4.62% vs. 1.23%), topped the nation in the 2000s (2.60% vs. 0.95%), outperformed the nation in the 2010s (2.00% vs. 0.74%), and surpassed the nation over 2020-2022 (3.11% vs. 0.31%).
